[P.O.E.]

Harks back to the early 20th century - a black (usually child) eating a watermelon was a relatively common advertising image. It has since been decried as stereotypically racist.

Go to google images and type in “black eating” and it will auto-complete with the word chicken. Type in an additional “W” and it will auto-complete with watermelon.

I remember a story about Bill Clinton sending a post card with that image. Anyone else?
